Swedish immigrant Alexandra Höjer has her workshop here, fronted by a boutique that stocks her chic men's and women's fashions in tailored linen, denim, cotton and leather. The distressed T-shirts are neatly packaged in boxes decorated with snaps of her rock-and-roll dad, who collaborates with her on the Metro brand of menswear.
